With a prayer and care
God’s hand touches my body
Creativity rises

I have been down sick with the flu since Sunday night, I am just now beginning to get some of my strength back
Do not come around
You are not wanted
Flu Bug fly away
I’ve better things to do
Then wasting time with you
Tanka
The flu has a hold on me
Its pushed me into a deep dark place
I am trying to crawl out from
Praying for the Lord’s strenght to help
Syllabic Verse
She entered into
A cool snobbish milieu
Dressed for battle

“Mary Chase Walker, San Diego’s first schoolmarm. She fought the Copperheads”
In the grocery store
I passed by a cart
Therein sat a wee child
A prodigal of smiles
Contentedly singing
Syllabic Verse
Spring’s visit was short
She danced with us all day
Til Winter struck back
Haiku
The morning
Sunshine woke her
Spring couldnt wait
She conspired
She slipped past winters gate
And visited us
Shadorma
I don’t walk alone
The Word safely leads me
He is the Light I need
To guide my feet each day
And keep the darkness away
Tanka
